Dark Knight Rises Star Joseph Gordon-Levitt Tweets About Aurora Shooting, Christian Bale Visits Victims

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has joined his Dark Knight Rises co-stars Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway and director Christopher Nolan in speaking out about the tragic shooting at a midnight screening of their blockbuster in Aurora, Colorado, on July 20.

The 31-year-old actor took to Twitter on Monday, writing, “My most sincere sympathies go out to the families of the victims in Aurora.”

Short, sweet, and to the point.

Meanwhile, Christian Bale is reportedly taking a personal trip to Aurora to meet with the shooting victims and their families. In a statement released Saturday, the Oscar-winning actor expressed his condolences: "I cannot begin to truly understand the pain and grief of the victims and their loved ones, but my heart goes out to them." 

For its part, Warner Bros. has reportedly made a “substantial” contribution to a fund dedicated to the victims.

The Dark Knight Rises took in $161 million in its first weekend — the third biggest opening ever.
